Things to do in Birmingham, England: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

The Truffle Making experience was fantastic and completely worth the money for anyone who loves chocolate. Everyone was so kind and polite to us during our experience and were so patient that we spent 3 hours in the store when the page estimates around 2. The COVID measures in place were great with hand sanitiser and check in QR code provided and all staff wearing visors and gloves to handle food. The staff were also able to cater to nut allergies and to provide alcohol free drinks on request. I fully recommend the Truffle Experience, learning about where chocolate actually comes from and what higher quality chocolate tastes like. Hand piping, chocolate coating and decorating truffles was very fun which we took home in presentation boxes. To finish our day off we had a huge chocolate fondue set with their own liquid milk chocolate (which you have the option to choose from dark, milk or white) which is delicious and surprisingly not sickly. We were treated with such kindness and welcoming during our entire stay and they made the whole day very special for the guest I brought for their birthday. The chocolate itself in the store is very high quality and tasting the Chocolate Quarter’s chocolate makes you realise how sugary and sickly other chocolate is. I cannot fault any part of our experience or anything about any interaction with anyone in the shop.

Reviewed By sattie24 - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
I was so scared when I decided it was time to buy an engagement ring. It was daunting. I am not really into jewellery but didn't want to get it wrong. I needed guidance. On top of that I had had some negative experiences at a couple of jewellers previously when, as a woman, I was going to buy a ring for my girlfriend. Yes it's 2020 but some people still say 'ohhhh, ok, right' in a tone that makes you run. Classic Diamonds however were not those people. I met Nicki first, when I mentioned who I was buying for, she quite rightly didn't bat an eyelid. She helped me and then passed me over to Jon. He had the patience of a Saint. In total I spent nearly 3hrs with him as he helped me understand (my way!) every aspect of the ring. He took time to learn about my girlfriend which in turn helped him suggest designs I hadn't considered. He didn't rush me, if he was fed up of my questions - he didn't show it. He worked within my given budget, no pressure to exceed it. When I explained I couldn't 'visualise' things and I had to physically see them he and Nicki found physical designs I could hold. In the end, I walked out having designed a ring and then waited to pick it up. Within a month it was ready and what a stunning ring it was. Perfect in every way. Jon had listened to everything I said and created the most beautiful ring which my new fiancée loves - and I love. It was all so great, we went back and got my gorgeous solitaire ring from the team too. Im due course our wedding bands will be purchased from Classic Diamonds too. It's a shame an engagement ring isn't something you buy regularly as I would love to spend all that time designing it again! I can't believe I am writing this - but it was a fun experience. Painless. If you want jewellery made by a team who really care about not only their products but customers too, alongside taking pride in their work - Classic Diamonds should be your First and last stop. Thank you Jon, Nicki and Wendy!
